Keeping Facilities Safe

There is no project that is too big for us here at BMS. We tackle every job with the same drive to provide nothing less than our best. If you need industrial exhaust and hood cleaning services in Portland, OR, let us show you how we can help! Here are some benefits of getting regular exhaust ducts cleaned.

Keeping well-maintained and clean exhaust ducts are not just beneficial for restaurants and other commercial kitchens. In fact, many industrial and manufacturing buildings, including warehouses, benefit from regular exhaust duct cleanings. A warehouse’s exhaust ducts need to be cleaned regularly to ensure that the air quality is safe and comfortable for people who work in the space. However, this maintenance is often overlooked due to minimal time and resources allocated. This is a massive mistake because dirty vents can lead to health problems from both breathing in contaminated air and from picking up bacteria from the floors after walking across them all day.

Broad Scope Safety: Regular industrial and commercial exhaust duct cleaning ensures safe air quality across warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and healthcare centers, protecting workers, and patients from contaminants.
Fire Prevention: Removes grease buildup, reducing fire risks and protecting property and lives
Compliance and Efficiency: Ensures system integrity, meets safety codes, and avoids legal/financial penalties.

Frequently asked questions

How Long Does It Take a Hood Cleaning Service to Clean a Commercial Kitchen?

A lot of factors go into determining how long it will take for a hood cleaning service to clean your commercial kitchen hood. One of the biggest factors is the overall size of your commercial kitchen. If you are curious about how much time it will take to clean your commercial kitchen, the best advice we can give you is to get in touch with us today so we can review your needs and give you a time estimate.

How often should I have commercial kitchen exhaust system cleaning done?

The frequency depends on your facility’s usage. For commercial kitchens, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 96) recommends cleaning every 3-12 months, based on cooking volume—monthly for high-volume operations like 24-hour restaurants, quarterly for moderate use, and semi-annually for low use. Industrial facilities like warehouses may need annual or bi-annual cleaning, depending on activity levels. Our professional assessment can determine the best schedule for you.

What happens if I don’t clean my exhaust system regularly?

Neglecting cleaning can lead to grease buildup, increasing the risk of grease fires, which can be devastating and costly. Dirty systems also harbor mold and bacteria, degrading air quality and potentially causing health issues like respiratory problems. Additionally, you risk failing safety inspections, facing fines, or losing insurance coverage.

What does your service include?

Our service covers a thorough cleaning of kitchen hoods, exhaust vents, and ductwork, removing grease, debris, and contaminants. We also clean exhaust fans and inspect the system for structural damage, leaks, or compliance issues. Our goal is to leave your system spotless, safe, and up to code.

Are your services compliant with safety regulations?

Yes, our cleaning and inspection processes align with NFPA 96 standards and local Portland, OR regulations. We ensure your system meets fire safety and health codes, providing documentation for insurance or regulatory purposes if needed.

How long does the cleaning process take?

The duration varies based on the size and condition of your system. A typical commercial kitchen exhaust cleaning takes 2-4 hours, while larger industrial systems may require 4-8 hours. We work efficiently and can schedule services during off-hours to minimize disruption to your operations.

Will cleaning disrupt my business operations?

We strive to minimize downtime by scheduling cleanings during non-operational hours, such as overnight or on weekends. Our team works quickly and professionally to ensure your kitchen or facility is back in action as soon as possible.
